After searching for rice paper wraps which feels like forever.
I finally did a Google search and found that Whole Foods sold them. While in
route home from a meeting with a client, I decided to check and see if the
nearest Whole Foods had them in stock. I
do not have a Whole Foods in my town, so it’s a treat when I do go. Plus,
people have raved about how gorgeous this particular location was…

Yes; of course they had the rice paper in stockJ. So me being the foodie
that I am, I could not wait to try the spring wraps (I never tried them before)…
After making about 10-15 for the mister and me I finally got the hang of it. They
are pretty tasty!! I have a bunch of rice paper wrappers leftover. So I do plan
on trying different recipes in the future.

My weekend was really low key. I spent most of my weekend
planning and strategizing… For some strange reason, I did not get mimi’s Easter
Basket together until the day of Easter. I have no idea what was going on with
me. I was really struggling with what to put in his basket at the age of eleven,
and at what age would I stop creating Easter baskets for him. Earlier in the
week, I wanted to stop at my local Dollar Tree to pick up a couple of items
however time got the best of me during the week. I woke up Easter morning in
hopes that I would be able to run to Target to pick up a couple of items. (Yes,
I’m one of those people that run to Target for everything) To my surprise Target
was closed. Instead I ran to Dollar Tree. In the future plan on creating a bin
with knick-knacks of things that I can put in an Easter basket for him.

Also, this year I decided not to host Easter Dinner at my
home, I usually try to host an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Which they seem to
really enjoy, however for several reasons, I opted not to.

However, I did bake homemade vanilla cupcakes with cream
cheese frosting. They were amazing!!! I’ve used this recipe several times now
and hands down it is my absolute favorite. I ran out of all-purpose follow and
had to substitute ¾ cup with self-rising flour. (I think I’m actually going to
continue with this method) The cupcakes were moist and airy. (sigh)

Now that it officially spring it's time to keep the "mommy drinks" flowing. (This is coming from someone who loves sweet girly drinks. However, by the end of the day, I'm usually exhausted and just end up falling asleep. L)

Since I love "Girly Drinks" so much, I decided to make a homemade frozen daiquiri. I had everything on hand thanks to the huge bag of frozen strawberries I purchased from Bj's that shares the responsibility of being one of the ingredients for my smoothies as well. J

I decided the first time I tried the recipe to make a single serving, you know just in case it comes out wrong... I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to make. Besides my mini blender acting wacky, this is definitely a recipe I will keep close by.
